Gotta respect Jimmy. He puts it all out every time.

Heat should just use mind tactics next game by crowding LeBron and letting AD dominate so LeBron would feel him pulling away for Finals MVP and try to do something drastic by not passing AD the ball.

Ah yes. The Ol' Larry Brown gag (to Kobe).

It is nice that the Lakers scored 124 points while wearing the Black Mamba jerseys.

Duncan Robinson was a minus 21 this game. Lakers really took him out for this series.

Oh so game 2 was tonight? Guess I really dgaf :lol:

I actually hope AD wins FMVP, although I think LeBron is clearly the MVP of that team. But LeBron ain’t dumb, he’s gonna be gunning for that series triple double so the statline is undeniable when voters decide on FMVP. Dude knows the power of narratives.

I checked the score with phone, but I also lost power and honestly wouldn't have watched anyway lol.

This matchup is like David vs. Goliath. Except Goliath is wearing a titanium-plated helmet this time. Sorry David, but you're in trouble.

He seems like a guy who would mesh well with Thibs' intensity.

Lakers should offer the Kings’ long term cap relief by offering Danny Green and Luke’s boy Kyle Kuzma for Buddy Hield and the 12th pick.

LA adds one of the best shooters in the league plus they can draft a wing who’ll be available at 12 to replace Danny.

Following my trail of thought in my previous post, we can be the ones offering the Kings cap relief by trading Luke’s boy Julius Randle for Buddy Hield and their 12th pick.

#8 + Randle for #12 + HIeld.

i think its absolutely wrong to assume the heat with a full roster had no chance because the were blown out in game 1. I think with Bam and Dragic they would've bounced back big time yesterday.

Olynyk is on my short list of players I hope the Knicks bring in as backup C. I think he's a UFA.

tbh, in my FA/Trade thoughts I don't even think about the 5 position. Mitch + Taj is a nice combination. hope we bring them back and Mitch take the starting role with about 30 mpg with Taj backing him up.

This is an example of why in the end unless you have a top of the league all time great on your team you have no shot to win at a title.

This whole it’s about depth and playing as a team and chemistry and that’s why the Heat will win is nonsense

Playoffs are about who are your best players.

That's fine for the 5 but imo we also need a big who can shoot at the 4 position since Mitch can't shoot
